We get TyTy to go with Belo, Miller, Goode, Melendez, Grandy, Hutch if healthy, Cole, Trent if he returns and same with Monte, our spacing will be incredible with multiple shooters and slashers.
Monte and Trent leaving... Trent about to get paid! Monte overseas with Trent! Get money... ILL... make way for the incoming ballers!

I agree, but just throwing out the possibilities. Even with them leaving, it should be our best shooting team from outside in a while.

Thanks, I do know the names being put out, just wanted to verify who they think we're getting, and possibly order or time frame. Any help on this appreciated, Nappy.
If I am listening. It sounds like Nimari is just waiting for his papers to see if he can get in, but when that occurs. He'll be the first to come. Podzy seems to be all but committed, then TyTy and Boakye seem to be whenever BU can convince them fast enough. A month ago, I wouldn't have imagined this could be a possibility ☺️

We have two already in the bag. Looking at NB and TY TY along with the big man from Canada to commit. That would be an awesome class. Do we have room for all? Two guards, two wings, and a center. With AC, Hawkins, Hutch, Grandison, Leib, GB, and Hamblin. I think Hamblin will take a big jump next season and Leib will next in line. He reminds me of Liam Robbins at MN.
Any word on AJ Casey's recruitment. Seems like it has gone quiet. Beat Rutgers.

I've heard Holmgren, Hardy, NB, and Boakye about to commit as a package deal and all agreeing to stay 4 years.

Disclaimer: It's game day, I'm drinking lots of Orange Kool-Aid today and my source is the neighbors pet squirrel that occasionally comes into my yard to dig/bury his "fruit."

How do I determine this? It's very scientific. I hold up a sign with a name on it, if he runs away, they are signing elsewhere. I held up all those names this morning and he stayed put, right in the middle of the road...of course he was there last night too, and looking like "ROADKILL" so it may be false information.

vegas, you can see the Paris hotel reflection in the windows.
Nimari and Hardy have been working out in Vegas together with Werk.

Hearing Hardy + Nimari package is a real thing. Hardy would only be here a semester and Nimari likes the idea of a getting a Natty with him.

All depends on how much Hardy can make with NIL. If it's more than g league he's coming here. More national publicity for a semester before going to the league makes it a no brainer.

Hardy not deciding anything until summer ish.

So Hardy would not arrive until after Christmas Break and you think BU and Company will be ok with this? They are into chemistry and Natty's. I don't feel that would work, or be a good look. Sounds like this kid plans to come in and jack up every shot possible in that 4 month time span to boost his draft stock.

- it's Hamlin. not Hamblin
- for Western?
- how does Lieb remind you of Roberts? not seeing it
- Casey is doubtful, at best (I'd love to be wrong)

hot takes for $1000, Alex.

BTW, Hardy is going to coach the team too.

If this post is accurate, that is some serious insider info. I felt that way about QC’s first few posts, then I was proven to be incredibly naive.

Based on what? With the way his stock is blowing up it would be negligent not to.
It absolutely would not be negligent if they prefer others for the open schollies. Not every great player fits what a coach wants. We recruited him hard once already. He knows what we have to offer. This staff puts zero stock into someone’s stock blowing up. That reminds me, I need to go buy some GameStop.
 
#646      
If Hardy only intends to play one semester, I would strongly prefer he do it somewhere else.

This coaching staff and how they determine who plays and who doesn’t strongly suggests they would prefer he choose somewhere else too.

I'm sure this has been answered ad nauseum, but I don't want to to go searching for it, how many open scholarships are we looking at next year? Assuming Trent, DMW, Ayo, and Kofi all leave.

Yes, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but we will not have room for everyone unless we have one or two guys leave
